none of The Wings of Fire and the other crews deserved this. I know it's just business to them, but the way they've cut so many people after puffing their chest out about animation two-three years ago...Netflix can eat my ass.

Jumping on that avocado #lowpoly train and made one last night, cause I loved all the ones being made. I went for a more stylized, quick and dirty look tho

A witches school animated show, but instead of being a European setting, it's all about brujería/Santeria in a Latin American Caribbean setting. Someone good at this and with connections should be making this.
